Abstract

These results suggest that genomic alteration of RET or GDNF is not a major mechanism leading to renal agenesis and other severe kidney development defects. Analysis of a larger series of patients will be necessary to validate the association of the RET intron 1 variant rs2506012 with renal development defects.
